Superman and Robin/Nightwing cover team-ups

If Superman and Batman are the World's Finest, let's say Superman and Robin/Nightwing are the Globe's Greatest.

 strikingly illustrated by Evan "Doc" Shaner

Focusing primarily if not exclusively on the Clark Kent version of Superman and the Dick Grayson/Tim Drake incarnations of Robin, here is the start:

1955

And then...

 1971

 1981

 1983, with Elongated Man; 
also made this list 

 1992

 1992

 1998

 1999

 2000

 2005

2016 

 2016

2016

2022

(first Jon Kent)

2022
Dark Crisis: Worlds Without a Justice League – Superman #1
(this Robin is...Jon Kent)

A few covers focusing on Superman/Robin but also including other heroes:

 1969

 1981

 1999

Superman/Robin co-starring in other media:

 Superman: The Animated Series, "Knight Time"
1998

Sorry, Ralph.

A few fun interiors showing the relationship between the Man of Steel and the Boy Wonder.

Am I missing any covers that focus primarily on Superman and Robin or Nightwing?

Some of those Robin covers feature not Dick Grayson, but Tim Drake, the 3rd Robin, who headlined three miniseries before being granted an ongoing series in the 90's. He's the one with the modified costume (long tights, etc.). Dick became Nightwing, as you probably know, in 1984.
